Where AEM is headed
Agnico Eagle finishes 2027 producing roughly 3.6 million ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs near $1,450, against a gold price that has refused to break back below $3,000. Do the math on that spread and you get free cash flow north of $5.5 billion annually on a company carrying essentially zero net debt. That is not a mining company anymore. That is a royalty stream wearing a hard hat.
